Krakow, Poland - October 19, 2017

Deutsche Telekom incubator is launching hub:raum Low Latency Prototyping.

This is a special program that will leverage Edge Computing technology to foster the development of innovative 5G enabled use cases in Europe.

Companies can now apply to become partners.

More than just an enabler for a new wave of consumer digital entertainment services, the capabilities of hub:raum can also be applied to socially responsible purposes, such as real-time low latency interaction between first responders at accident scenes and medical specialists in hospitals to provide immediate patient care.

About Edge Computing

Edge Computing is a new concept for server computing.

It is located on the edge of the cellular network, near the end user, rather than in a remote, centralized data center.

Thomas Lips, CTIO of T-Mobile Polska states,
"This solution eliminates the need to transfer all information to a distant cloud, allowing for local buffering and compression. As a result, it gives opportunities to create truly interactive solutions. With Edge Computing increase the computing power or computing capacity, data security, reduces and the cost of doing business with this technology."

Edge technology combined with 5G has many potential applications in such industries as robotics, autonomous cars, drones, augmented and virtual reality, or the already mentioned Internet of Things.


Hub:raum Supports the Development of 5G use Cases

In November this year, hub:raum will support the launch of the unique test environment for  future 5G applications in both  Krakow and Berlin.

" It's unique for Europe. Our collaborating companies will have the opportunity to test and develop their services and products before technology will come commercially to the market. This is a powerful market advantage that many companies hope to benefit from." - explains Jakub Probola from hub:raum.

Benefits

After entering the 5G era, it is predicted that autonomic cars will go out into the street and safely drive passengers from point A to point B, informing them about the other major events on the road like traffic jams or fallen trees.

What can be considered as the real breakthrough is low latency in data transmission - video transmissions benefit as it is where the delay will be completely unnoticeable.

Fans of VR and AR games will also enjoy immersive and real time gaming experiences due to the capabilities that Edge Computing and later enhanced with 5G brings to the next level.
